Although Zhu Houzhao was depressed and annoyed for a long time after the assassination of Xu Xun last time, the life of the little emperor was generally more comfortable than before. Not to mention that the court is gone, he is nagging in his ear, he is not allowed to do this, he is not allowed to do that, and he has to call Mr.'s assistants, that is, in the palace, all of them are replaced by happy attendants, and he is much more relaxed these days. Of course, the most satisfactory thing is that Empress Dowager Zhang finally relented and agreed to postpone the wedding day for another year, which not only satisfied his filial piety to wait for his father Daxiang to do things later, but also satisfied him with the fun of continuing to hide his identity and mess with Zhou Qiniang.

Of course, all this is not without a price, because while he has fun, he also has to make Empress Dowager Zhang happy. According to Empress Dowager Zhang's meaning, he first had to choose a good family affair for his cousin Zhang Zong. It must be known that for Zhang Jingxuan's previous marriage, Empress Dowager Zhang was 10,000 dissatisfied, only her nephew liked it, and her son approved it, so she could only admit it.

According to Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, this is a big thing, and it will be over if you casually hand over a person to the chalk city in Beijing, but the Empress Dowager Zhang said that she wanted him to supervise it personally, and he would not disobey the queen mother's will. That afternoon, he thought about it, and originally wanted to go to Liu Jin to discuss and discuss, but Bisheng sent Ruisheng to the celebrant supervisor, but said that Liu Jin went to the cabinet. Although the attendant who followed Ruisheng to talk back and forth tried his best to ask the little emperor to wait for a while, or go to the cabinet for a while, Zhu Houzhao didn't have the heart to deal with the three cabinet ministers, and after sending them away, he waved Ruisheng over with a roll of his eyes.

"Xu Xun can be in the mansion these days?"

Rayson was taken aback by this question, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the little one doesn't know." ”

"Straight to the point, I won't blame you!"

Latham & Watkins is really busy these days. As the youngest steward of the Qianqing Palace in history, most of the people below disagreed with him, and it was too late for him to appease the backyard according to Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong's suggestions, and he only heard that Xu Xun's injuries had healed and he was busy with his own work, how could he have time to stare at the old master? At this time, seeing that the little emperor was full of disbelief, he couldn't help crying and said, "Your Majesty, the little one really doesn't know. The little one followed the emperor all day long, and it was too late to run errands back and forth, so how could he have time to inquire about Ping Beibo's movements! ”

"Really, I don't know about this!" Zhu Houzhao patted the handrail angrily, and said with a tiger face, "You are the first to get the moon near the water, and I will pay attention to where he goes every day in the future, so that I don't have to look for him but I can't find anyone...... Gotcha, change your clothes and get out of the palace! ”

"Ah, does the emperor know where Pingbeibo is?"

"Stupid chalk, how can I know, but there are always people in this Jingchalk City who know everything!"

Although this is a mouthful, Zhu Houzhao is naturally not a mouthful, he took Ruisheng and a few guards out of the palace and went straight to the West Factory of Lingji Hutong, but as soon as he appeared, he bluffed Huitong half to death. Knowing that the little emperor actually came to ask Xu Xun where he was, he was originally a little embarrassed because Gu Dayong was not there, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Pingbei went out of the city to the barracks, I heard that today is a big competition, and Father-in-law Gu was also pulled by Father-in-law Zhang to see the excitement."

"Oh, what is Dabi?"

Seeing that Huitong shook his head and said that he didn't know, Zhu Houzhao had originally asked Xu Xun to discuss important matters, and he was even more interested at this time. So, he immediately commanded without question: "Find a chalk to show me the way!" The avant-garde of the head government army in this West Garden is practicing the same things, I am tired of watching them, but I want to see what they are doing to hide from me! ”

Since the little emperor was interested, Huitong naturally didn't dare to stop him, but he didn't dare to really let this master take such a few people out of the city. But in a quarter of an hour, a person rushed into the house like a gust of wind, but it was Li Yifeng himself, who was in charge of the Jinyi Guard. …,

"Huh?" Zhu Houzhao was originally very impatient to bring more people, but after seeing Li Yifeng salute, he said that he had transferred eight capable subordinates and accompanied him personally, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded again and again, "That's good, it's you who accompany you!" Zhong Hui, don't follow, since Gu Dayong has gone over there, there is no one here! ”

Huitong didn't have any ambitions to be promoted, so when he heard the emperor's order, he immediately responded with a smile, and when he only sent people out, he gently patted Li Yifeng's shoulder while others were not paying attention, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, you can keep up, can you take a step up, this is a great opportunity!" ”

Others don't know the relationship between Huitong and Xu Liang and Xu Xun's father and son, Li Yifeng personally followed Ye Guang to Nanjing back then, and now he is in charge of Beizhen Fusi, and almost takes charge of Jinyiwei, how could he not know? nodded quietly, and after getting on the horse, he naturally followed the little emperor closely. When Zhu Houzhao caught a glimpse of Ruisheng on horseback, he stopped to signal to rest, and when he smiled and handed over a copper jar.

"It's ......"

"Your Majesty, this is thirst-quenching reed root water, clearing heat and generating Jin, although it is cold now, drinking this is also effective."

Zhu Houzhao opened the lid and took a sip as he said, although the entrance was a little bitter, but there was a slight sweetness followed by it, compared to him who often drank honey and rose dew in the palace, he felt more refreshing. After taking a few sips, he handed over the copper jar to the pale-faced Ruisheng: "I forgot that you are not used to riding a horse, drink a few sips, don't take too much, otherwise your stomach will sway, and riding a horse will be even more uncomfortable!" ”

Rayson quickly agreed, noticing that everyone else was looking at him, and he just slightly touched his lips and quickly handed it back with both hands. After resting for a cup of tea, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to signal departure, and it was not until the person leading the way pointed to a simple barracks not far from the mountain col and said that it was there, and he suddenly accelerated his speed, and rushed ahead for a while.

Li Yifeng was afraid that something would happen to the little emperor, so he chased after him again and again.

"Who?"

The gates of the two wooden fences were now tightly closed, and a patrolling sentry on the high wooden tower saw twenty or thirty people rushing below, and was so surprised that he shouted loudly, and beat the drum above. However, after a while, Zhu Houzhao saw that black pressure appeared on the high platforms everywhere, and the bows and arrows were all pulled full, and they were condescendingly aimed at him. He could still hold it, and Li Yifeng on the side was suddenly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly shouted.

"I'm Jinyi Weibei Town, Fu Si, in charge of a thousand households, Li Yifeng came here to check on the order!"

Despite these words, the archers on several high platforms did not put down their bows and arrows, but only pointed their bows and arrows diagonally to the ground. And the sentry just now said loudly after looking at it a few times: "Pingbei Bo and Jingyang Bo Zhang Gonggong Gu Gonggong are presiding over the big competition, you guys wait outside the camp gate for a while, wait for me to report!" ”

Seeing that he went down the wooden ladder with a smoke, someone immediately came up to replace him, and the others were still waiting for him, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. At this time, one of the chamberlains beside Ruisheng said playfully: "Your Majesty, although Pingbei Bo is young, he is quite disciplined in governing the army, Li Qianhu said that he can't go straight into the house according to the order, and there are some scenes of Zhou Yafu ruling the fine willow camp. ”

Latham doesn't read much, and now he is reading and practicing calligraphy, but Li Yifeng is not as old and coarse as some martial arts. Seeing that the chamberlain was in his early thirties with a capable face, he smiled on the side: "Zhou Yafu ruled the Xiliu Camp that was to take Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to Liwei, and now Pingbei Bo is presiding over the big competition in it, and it is the duty of this camp to guard the door tightly, otherwise anyone can enter and exit the military camp, isn't it a joke?" This father-in-law's analogy is inappropriate. ”…,

Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to notice the exchange of words between the two, and said nonchalantly: "Zhou Yafu is ill-intentioned and uses the emperor as a target to make a name for himself, and Emperor Han Jing is also suspicious and ungraceful. Those emperors of the Han Dynasty razed the three tribes and nine tribes at every turn, and they were too narrow-minded, and I didn't take them! ”

Hearing that the little emperor actually commented on the famous Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in that loud manner, Li Yifeng couldn't help but sweat in his head, where did he dare to interject, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that in these years, although there are occasional ministers who have been executed, it is indeed rare to see the matter of clan punishment, but the bloody storms in the years of Taizu and Taizong of this dynasty, and the two Han Dynasty who wiped out the three clans and nine clans at every turn, are also appalling.

The gentleman and the others on this side delayed for a while, and the door of the camp on that side opened. Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang, who walked out quickly, saw Li Yifeng on horseback and were about to say hello, and then immediately recognized Zhu Houzhao on horseback, which was not trivial. But before they could come forward to salute, Zhu Houzhao jumped off the horse and walked over with a horse whip with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you two are looking more heroic! Don't talk nonsense, don't kneel with me, take me to see...... I warn you, don't tell the news! ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, Qi Jiliang, who originally planned to send someone to get a message inside, immediately dispelled this plan. He and Qi Jiliang glanced at each other, but in the end, they still looked deeply, and then they both stood on the left and right to lead the way. Although they have made such a posture, but the heavyweights are all in the school field, and there are some ordinary officers and non-commissioned officers at this gate, where do you want to get Li Yifeng is not ordered to check, but to check with the little emperor, so it is quiet and quiet, and no one is clever to report inside. The people led by Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche are very spiritual, but under the nose of the little emperor, no one dares to disobey the order.

So, Zhu Houzhao went straight to the school so gently and skillfully. When he saw the high platform of the school parade from afar, he heard a deafening shouting of killing. At this time, he finally couldn't help it, and for a while, he hurried forward regardless of it, and at a glance he found that two teams were fiercely strangling each other in the field. Faced with this posture of real swords and guns, he took a deep breath, grabbed Qi Jiliang next to him and asked, "You actually practice like this?" Aren't you afraid of the dead or the wounded? ”

"Your Majesty, your lordship has transferred swords from the ordnance prison that have not yet been opened, so under normal circumstances, only people will be injured, and there will be no worries about their lives. Of course, if there is an eventuality, it is inevitable, but the weekday drill is different from the battle formation, if you dare not let go of the training every time you are afraid of being injured, the battle formation will see blood, or when you encounter a setback, it will easily collapse. ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately urged Qi Jiliang to lead the way. He was not busy going directly to the high platform to meet people, but went around the school field in a circle, and saw that the two sides were really practicing the battle formation, rather than simply putting up a shelf, he couldn't help but be more interested, but looking at it, he saw that many people lying on the ground were dragged out by the stitches, and when he finally pedaled and rushed to the high platform, he opened his mouth and shouted: "This kind of drill is good, but what about the wounded?" ”

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth, whether it was Xu Xun and Shenying Chen Xiong, who were originally talking to each other on the high platform, or Gu Da using Zhang Yong, they all came back to their senses at once. They were all people who looked up and didn't look down with the little emperor, and Xu Xun was the first to jump up in surprise: "Why didn't the emperor even inform him, and ran straight to such a far place, what if someone is found in the palace?" ”…,

Seeing that everyone stepped forward in a mess and saluted, Zhu Houzhao shouted impatiently, immediately stepped forward, and unceremoniously sat on the main seat in the center of Xu Xun, and then said bluntly: "I am not a child, I have a plan in my heart, the discussion of the Wenhua Hall in the morning has been completed, and other government affairs naturally have the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, not to mention that the Xichang and Jinyiwei know about it." Don't get out of the way, I ask you what about the wounded? ”

"Naturally, there are special military doctors to deal with the wounded, and the ministers have transferred forty military doctors from various armies with the best treatment, and all kinds of medicines for bruises and injuries are also prepared. If you are slightly injured, you can lie down for three or five days and practice again, and if you hurt your muscles and bones, you can't afford to wait for a month or two. Since you have picked someone out, you have to give people time. ”

Because of what Zhang Yonghe and Shenying said before, although Xu Xun had already informed Luo Qing to impress Ma Yongcheng and others, he knew that such a palliative treatment would not cure the root cause, so he had originally pondered that when there was a rough rule here, he would let the little emperor come to the scene to watch, and be sure to curb the entry of the border army into Beijing from the source. At this moment, seeing that Zhu Houzhao had sent himself to the door, and showed an expression full of interest, he said calmly: "Of course, this alone is still not enough.

After all, it is his own robe, even if there is a reward and punishment, he will not be ruthless, so in the next step, the minister is ready to organize them into a team and pull them out for drills, and even the live targets for the drill have been found. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for someone to bring up the topographic map, and told Zhu Houzhao about the marks on it. Knowing that was actually hiding more than a dozen groups of big thieves and bandits, Zhu Houzhao unknowingly darkened his face. When he heard Xu Xun say that he had recruited two masters who were the best at catching horse thieves, and were ready to let people teach several teams of three or five hundred people to arrest thieves, his face suddenly became wonderful.

"You mean, with this actual combat? Can those rabble use such a stirring crowd? ”

"The emperor came just in time today, and the minister originally wanted to find an opportunity to report this matter. The emperor should not underestimate these so-called rabble, the official palace has also sent troops to rectify, but the final result is that the loss of troops cannot be solved. Some of these people can't get by, so they just go up to the mountains to become bandits, but some of them have been operating in the mountains and forests for many years, and the climate has been inherited from father to son. Therefore, the minister did not intend to let these men and horses suppress the bandits under the banner, but prepared to set up another mountain in the name of setting up another mountain. Otherwise, if you move towards the chalk court, you will have the same hatred of the enemy up and down, and at that time, you will startle the snake. ”

The matter of the White Lotus Sect Xu Xun has already asked Luo Qing to send more detailed information, and the reason why he does not use Xichang or Jinyiwei is because these chalk sect believers are too deeply rooted, and it is easy to leak the news if they are not careful, and at this time, they will not show their mouth in front of Zhu Houzhao at all. Even so, what he said still made Zhu Houzhao's face full of anger, and he glanced at the others and said in a deep voice: "I thought that the four seas were peaceful, but I didn't expect this world to be so peaceful!" ”

That's a lot of weight. Whether it was Shenying Chen Xiong, who was a military general, or Zhang Yonggu, who was a lieutenant official, he didn't know what to say for a while. At this time, as the initiator of this topic, Xu Xun had to speak: "Your Majesty, the world is peaceful and looks at the general trend, not these small things. Thinking of Taizu Taizong's majestic talent, at the beginning of Taizu's founding, there was an endless stream of provinces that rose up, and Taizong ruled the world for many years, and there was still Tang Sai'er's Shandong Rebellion. Later, during the Xuande period, Songpan made a rebellion, and later during the Chenghua period, there was a rebellion among the Yao people in Datengxia, even if it was peaceful, this big chaos and small chaos never stopped. ”

Speaking of this, he paused again and said: "However, since you are in Gyeonggi, even if you are only a clown who jumps off the beam for three or five times, you can't be underestimated, and you can't let these hidden dangers have the opportunity to become a big disaster." ”…,

"No wonder Liu Jin handed me an excerpt this morning, with a list of many methods that need to be changed. That being the case, I turned back to the cabinet and said, "Let's start with Gyeonggi first, and first forgive the Chen Fu that I owed before!" ”

Liu Jin wants to change the law?

Xu Xun really hadn't heard of this yet, so he couldn't help but be stunned at this time. It's just that now is not the time to ask about this, listening to the little emperor just saying that Chen Fu, who owed him before, his brows moved slightly, and he didn't say any antichalk opinions. And others will not interfere with such government affairs, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong even praised the emperor's benevolence in a funny way. Zhu Houzhao, who was full of pride, naturally left the boredom just now away from the clouds, and then remembered the real purpose of today.

"Then you continue to preside over that big competition, I will find Xu Xun to say a few words."

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say that he dragged Xu Xun away, Shenying couldn't help but gently stroked his beard and said: "The emperor's trust in Pingbeibo is really increasing day by day, so we can finally rest assured." ”

"I don't know what kind of problem this is when I came here." Zhang Yong knew the little emperor's temperament very well, and after slanting at Gu Dayong, he quietly asked, "Could it be that you have something awkward with that girl Zhou?" ”

Gu Dayong, who smiled innocently, shook his head, and after returning to the seat and sitting down, he said to Zhang Yong thoughtfully: "No, if that is the case, the emperor should be angry, most likely there are some difficult things to be entrusted to Pingbeibo, such as what kind of chalk matter to protect the media, we people will definitely not be suitable, it is better to find Pingbeibo." ”

When Xu Xun heard that Zhu Houzhao had given him the arduous task of finding a suitable family for Zhang Zong, he almost fell over. Before he stammered and said that he had no connections in Jingcha City, and it was impossible for the Venerable Master to inquire about any girls in his house, the little emperor couldn't help but say: "You found the most suitable one for yourself, Sister Shen, and helped me find Qi Niang, now you tell Zhang Zong what is the difficulty in finding another one?" I didn't give you a deadline, just find someone before the New Year next year, so that the Zhang family can make a decision in February. Besides, Hou Shouning and Mrs. Hou Ning can trust you, Zhang Zong said that that kid was also sponsored by you, and I sent him to Yan Suijun, so you can't be responsible for his marriage to his daughter-in-law? ”

said a thousand things and ten thousand, Zhu Houzhao just relied on him for this trouble, even if Xu Xun was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree.

Just as the two of them were muttering, there was a sudden shouting from outside the signing room, and Latham leash poked his head in from outside the curtain.

"Your Majesty, Pingbeibo, and Xing'anbo's Mansion have sent a message, saying that Xing'anbo and Mrs. Pingbeibo have arrived!"

"How can it be so fast!"

Although he was looking forward to his father and daughter-in-law entering Chalk day and night, when he heard the news at this time, Xu Xun was still taken aback and jumped up. Now he is not as good as before, the news from all parties is unimpeded, he knows the journey of the Nanjing boat all the way, and he heard that the ship is in Linqing before, why did he suddenly arrive in Tongzhou at this time? The thought of the possibility of something happening on the road made his face change suddenly. But Zhu Houzhao didn't see it, and slapped him on the back with a smile.

"Come on, I know that your heart has flown back, I will give you leave, hurry up and pick up the old chalk daughter-in-law!"

The emperor has good intentions, but even if Xu Xun is in a hurry, it is impossible for him to really go back in such a hurry with the big competition, which is only half of today's competition. Thinking that if there was really something, the news would always mention a sentence and a half, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, the public is public and private, and the minister's public affairs here are not finished, if you want to go back like this, how can you be worthy of that share?" And if the minister really hurried back, I was afraid that the old god Lao Chen and Zhang Lao Gu would not know what to laugh at the minister. This time everyone is scrambling, and the minister has to continue to go back and watch at this time. ”

Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and looked at Xu Xun for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, that's the case, I will go back with you to see, and then we will go back to the city together...... Hey, it's been a long time since I've eaten Xing'anbo's braised pork! ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Xun suddenly cried and laughed. Dad's food is well done, but it is also a home-cooked taste, how can Zhu Houzhao keep thinking about it?
